Whackers manager Lyndal Morgan holds the record for least transactions in a season (while playing the entire season). In 2007, Morgan did not make a single add/drop. Regardless, he somehow went 12-4 and won the OIL Bowl (one year after losing the inaugural OIL Bowl against Lucky Enuf​). Morgan has a history of making few moves, as evidenced in the below spreadsheet:

Head on over to the record book to view your all-time head-to-head record against any current NFC manager. This is current through the 2014 season and includes playoff matchups. Fun fact: Finch is 1-7-1 all-time versus Morgan. After this season, I'll update the NFC records and compile a table for the AFC and PFC.

2007 champion Lyndal Morgan received a custom mini-helmet to commemorate his 2007 OIL Bowl championship. His Whackers beat his arch-rival (Leal's Norman Nobodies) to conclude the second season of the OIL.

To understand the OklahomIraqis League ("the OIL"), one must know who its members are and what brought them together. The league began at Camp Liberty in Baghdad, Iraq in 2006. It was resurrected in 2007 and kept alive each successive season. It's the way they keep in touch and share news with the men they served with in Iraq. Sometimes it's the only way because, although the men of the OIL are incredible friends, they may have never known each other without the Army National Guard. They came from different backgrounds and followed different career paths, but they served together as soldiers. Their bond would never be what it is without the experiences they shared one year in Iraq.

Their story is important, even if only to them, because when historians chronicle the Iraq War, they will focus on the usual fare: the battles; the successes and the failures; the bombings and the civil war . . . and the presidents and generals who managed them.

But it will be up to the everyday Joes, the boots on the ground, to tell their stories . . . because no one else will. Who were these men? Why did they join the military? What did they do over there? How are they now? And what has kept them close since they first went to war together? These questions may be important only to those who already know the answers, but they need to be shared just the same.

What follows is an oral history of the OIL, as told by the men who lived it, beginning with the combat mission that inspired it. It is by no means an exhaustive history of that combat mission in 2005-2006; such a history would fill a book of its own. But it is a decent overview of the year that preceded the formation of the OIL: where they were; what they'd experienced; how they felt. 152 Oklahoma soldiers served on that mission, but just a fraction of them are represented here. Each soldier below speaks for himself as an individual. Collectively, their memories form a history best expressed through the oral tradition of storytelling through conversation.

Soldiers are traditionally a guarded bunch, reluctant to show emotion or share their feelings, so the following is a rare look into the collective memory of one group of soldiers in Iraq almost a decade ago.

Championship jerseys have been ordered for all OIL1 champions still in the league. The manufacturer says they will be shipped the second week of December. Those receiving jerseys are: Lucky Enuf(navy blue home jersey for 2006 championship); Whackers(red home jersey; 2007); SoonerJack(crimson home jersey for 2008; white away jersey for 2011); and Dogs of War(white away jersey for 2013). Arrogant Americans already received a home and away jersey for their 2010 and 2012 championships.

Matthew Leal and Lyndal Morgan have been in the OIL since its beginning in Iraq in 2006. They were roommates that year and have been rivals ever since. This week, each manager released a new logo for his team:

Morgan's Whackers appear to be peaking at the right time, as they posted the high score of week nine with a 188.00-140.75 victory over Rogers' AmmoDog squad. Behind a Dallas Clark-like performance from Jacob Tamme and 28 points from the Green Bay defense, Morgan scored more points in week nine than any of the previous eight weeks.

Duffy's Hangovers keep taking one step forward and two steps back. Four weeks from the beginning of the playoffs, Duffy's squad posted a pathetic 77.95 points in a blowout loss to the suddenly-formidable Norman Nobodys.
